It was probably traumatizing for random Americans because they didn't expect anything like that to happen to them.
Something happening over there is different than it happening to the most powerful country on earth™️.
Same reason people care especially about the Ukraine war . Same reason amber alerts for little white girls get reported on more than indigenous women going missing.
It'd be less traumatic if there wasn't a consent manufacturing machine for war, and if it was instead just an airline malfunction or something.
Amber.
It's entirely this. I watched it on TV when I got home from school (UK) and my thoughts were just "yeah? They've been bombing the world for years, it was bound to happen sooner or later."
